Due to the fact that the regulations for regular inspection of diesel vehicles have not been implemented, not all diesel vehicles can be included for inspection. As the number of large diesel vehicles in Kaohsiung city ranks first in Taiwan, it indicates the highest pollution load of diesel vehicles in the city. In 2020, the project was subsidized by the Ministry of Environmental for the instrument equipment rental fees and exhaust emission testing subsidies. It is to incorporate with Ministry of Environmental’s approved auto repair shops for evaluating repair capabilities of auto maintenance shops. Once auto maintenance shops were qualified by experts and scholars, they will become regular inspection demonstration stations to include exhaust inspection with regular maintenance works. Thus, it could achieve the purpose of integrating of maintenance and inspection work.
The project was implemented from March 3, 2023 to December 31, 2023, renting and providing 2 sets of inspection equipment, adding Songshun Injector Co. and Zun Suh Enterprise Co., LTD. as regular inspection demonstration stations. To improve the inspection quality of the demonstration stations, an inspection without pre-caution and findings re-examination mechanism was introduced. In addition, 15 surveillance cameras have been installed at each station to strengthen the credibility of the inspection values at each station. Among them, owing to the extreme low rate of opacity inspection, the second surveillance camera was installed within four auto maintenance shops to observe the status of sampling guns and exhaust emission condition. As of now, there have been no abnormal test values and sampling gun drop-off situations.
Out of the 2,080 regular inspection notices sent, the return rate reached 55.7%. Besides, 124 vehicles have been scrapped, canceled, revoked or suspended. The questionnaire was conducted to investigate the satisfaction and support for the regular inspection work. The results showed that most of the regular inspection objects were satisfied with the inspection work, and also supported the establishment of diesel vehicle regular inspection stations and regular inspection system which were incorporated by the Environmental Protection Bureau and the auto maintenance shops. “Environmental Protection Bureau’s authorized and qualified auto maintenance shops” would be the priority to be inspected for most of objects. Moreover, objects assumed a reasonable charge range was from NTD$ 400 to NTD$ 600 per inspection. An official notice was suggested to remind users to conducted regular inspections.
To promote the regulative policy of air quality maintenance area (AQMA), the results of license plate recognition system revealed that the compliance rate of the diesel buses increased to 96.3% as well as the compliance rate of motorcycles reached 90.0% within Phase One Air Quality Maintenance Area from February 5, 2022 to December 31, 2023. 4 areas (Cijin Seaside Park, National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying), Hongmaogang Cultural Park and Siaogangshan Skywalk Park) were added to fulfill the expansion of Phase One Air Quality Maintenance Area. In addition, 5 sets of license plate recognition system s were established at the moment. “Phase Two Air Quality Maintenance Area" was designated in the Kaohsiung Port area which has been officially implemented on April 20, 2023. The compliance rate of diesel trucks and tractors increased to 98.6% until December 31, 2023. For Yancheng Elementary School Air Quality Maintenance Area, review conference was held on March 20, 2023. To enhance the effectiveness of regulative policy, the project was submitted to Ministry of Environmental for reviewing and commenting on December 28, 2023 which included roads nearby and diesel vehicles as the manage objects. The network of air quality maintenance area will be established continuously, the incineration plant and Kaohsiung International Airport will be included. 3 conferences were held during the implementation period which included one consultation meeting of Airport Air Quality Maintenance Area and two public hearings of Yancheng Elementary School and incineration plant. There have been 1,323 cases of violations and fines totaling NTD$ 661,500 as of December 31, 2023. In response to the request of unifying the design of signs and markers within Air Quality Maintenance Area, 30 signs and markers were updated.
Media campaigns were carried out; 8 articles were published via newspaper, online media, etc. for disseminating the regulative policy of air quality maintenance area. On June 26, 2023, the " Logistics Industry Promotes Economic Development and while Environmental Protection Caring for Health 2.0+" publicity and briefing session was held.
